Ingredients
A classic appetizer or snack to bring to a party, with an added bacon flavor. This can also be included as a side dish. The flavor combination of the ingredients may make you do a happy dance, as it did to us when eating. It will be hard to eat just one.
Directions
Add the eggs to a large pot and fill the pot with water. Add enough water to cover the eggs. Heat the water on high until the water boils. Then turn the heat off, and let the eggs continue to cook for 11 minutes on the eye of the stove.
Wash the scallions with a vegetable washing solution. We use one part vinegar and one part water.
Chop the scallions into small pieces, and put them in a small mixing bowl.
Add the cumin, dill, mustard, mayo, relish, and garlic to the mixing bowl with the scallions.
- We used Nature’s Promise Organic Ground Cumin 1.8 wt oz jar (USDA Organic), McCormick Gourmet Organic Dill Weed 0.5 wt oz jar (Non-GMO Verified. USDA Organic), Stone Ground Mustard 12 wt oz bottle (Gluten Free), Giant’s brand of Real Mayonnaise 15 fl oz jar (Made with Cage Free Eggs), Giant’s brand of Sweet Relish 16 fl oz jar, and Giant’s brand of Chopped Garlic in Water 8 wt oz jar.
Preheat the oven to 425 Fahrenheit degrees and place the bacon onto aluminum foil on a baking sheet.
- We used Nature’s Promise Applewood Smoked Uncured Bacon (No Nitrates or Nitrites Added Except for Naturally Occurring Nitrates and Nitrites in Celery Powder. Not Preserved. No Antibiotics Added. No Added Growth Hormones. Gluten Free).
Bake for 15 minutes and remove from the oven.
Chop the bacon into small pieces, and add the pieces to a separate small mixing bowl.
Add about 5 wt oz of the red pepper jelly to the bowl. Mix the bacon and red pepper jelly together.
- We used Braswell’s Red Pepper Jelly 10.5 wt oz jar.
After the eggs cook for the additional 11 minutes, after the heat is turned off, carefully place the eggs into a large bowl with ice and cold water to cool off the eggs for about 5 minutes. Add enough water to cover the ice and eggs. This shocks the eggs, and helps with peeling the shells off.
Remove the eggs from the ice water and peel them. Then cut the peeled eggs into halves, and remove the egg yolks.
Combine the yolks into the mixing bowl with the scallions and other ingredients, and mix them together.
Scoop about 1 tbsp of the yolk mixture back into each egg half. Then add about 1 tsp of the bacon jam on top of the yolk mixture. After the bacon jam is added, sprinkle paprika onto the top of each egg half that contains the yolk mixture.
- Instead of paprika, we used a smoked paprika barbecue rub.
